Reciprocal relations in irreversible processes I, pp. 405-26 in Physical Review Vol. 37, No. 4, February 15, 1931. THE FOURTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

ONSAGER, Lars

Verlag: Lancaster, PA & New York, NY: American Physical Society, 1931

First edition, journal issue in original printed wrappers. The Onsager reciprocal relations express the equality of certain ratios between flows and forces in thermodynamic systems in and out of equilibrium, but where a notion of local equilibrium exists. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1968 was awarded to Lars Onsager "for the discovery of the reciprocal relations bearing his name, which are fundamental for the thermodynamics of irreversible processes". The presentation speech referred to the three laws of thermodynamics and then added It can be said that Onsager's reciprocal relations represent a further law making a thermodynamic study of irreversible processes possible. Some authors have even described Onsager's relations as the Fourth law of thermodynamics. Large 8vo, pp. 4, 333-476. Original printed wrappers. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1609690339034
